19.6: Jamie Overton to Ali Hasan, OUT! TIMBER! Jamie Overton finishes proceedings in style with the ball and England qualify for the Super 8 stage. Overton knows what's coming from Ali Hasan and goes full and straight. Hasan backs away, trying to drive but is beaten for a third ball in a row and this time, he hears the death rattle behind him as well. Overton ends with a double-wicket maiden and ENGLAND WIN BY 24 RUNS!

0
19.5: Jamie Overton to Ali Hasan, Another play and a miss. Back of a length, angled into the batter, Ali Hasan makes a lot of room leg side but fails to lay a bat on it yet again.

0
19.4: Jamie Overton to Ali Hasan, Short of a length and around off, Hasan backs away again and looks to go over point but is well beaten.

0
19.3: Jamie Overton to Ali Hasan, Very full, angled into middle and leg, Ali Hasan backs away and digs it out into the off side. Another dot ball.

0
19.2: Jamie Overton to Jaspreet Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! England are now just one wicket away from the win. Jamie Overton serves it back of a length and over the stumps. Jaspreet Singh backs away to take it on but is undone by the extra bounce. Jaspreet ends up slashing it high up in the air towards the short cover region. Will Jacks comes in from the edge of the circle and goes down on one knee to take the catch.

0
19.1: Jamie Overton to Jaspreet Singh, Banged in well short and outside off, moves away from the right-hander as well. Jaspreet Singh reaches out but is beaten by the extra bounce.

18.6: Sam Curran to Crishan Kalugamage, A dot to end a brilliant over from Sam Curran and Italy need 25 off the final over. Another yorker-length delivery, angling in from outside off. Crishan Kalugamage jams it out to extra cover and the batters don't go for the run.

0
18.5: Sam Curran to Grant Stewart, OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran is taking England to the Super 8, it seems and what a big wicket this is in the context of the game. Curran stays around the wicket and goes full and wide yet again, with pace-on. Grant Stewart hangs back and throws the hands at it but ends up slicing it off the outside edge. The ball goes quickly to the left of short third, where Liam Dawson moves across and takes a smart catch. Stewart's fighting knock of 45 off just 23 balls comes to an end.

1
18.4: Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh, Curran is sticking to his plans and is doing a fine job, 25 needed now off 8 balls. Curran goes for the wide yorker again and nails it as well. Jaspreet Singh reaches out and jams it on the bouce to Adil Rashid at short third for a single.

1WD
18.4: Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh, WIDE! Pace-on delivery, it is the attempted wide yorker but Curran pushes it beyond the tramline. The nerves are settling in for both sides now.

1
18.3: Sam Curran to Grant Stewart, A slower bumper, banged in well short and wide outside off, Grant Stewart reaches for it and uppercuts it on the bounce to Jofra Archer at deep backward point. Archer doesn't even make an attempt at the catch and is happy to concede the single.

0
18.2: Sam Curran to Grant Stewart, Excellent review! Sam Curran comes around the wicket and angles in a slower ball, bowling it on a good length. Grant Stewart walks across to slog it away but gets beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Stewart, who is running to the bowler's end for the single, reviews it right away. UltraEdge shows a big spike when the ball is next to the inside edge. NOT OUT! However, it will be a dot ball as well.

1
18.1: Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh, A low full toss, angling across off, Jaspreet Singh slices it away to sweeper cover for a single.

1WD
18.1: Sam Curran to Jaspreet Singh, WIDE! Pressure on the fielding side. Full and wide outside off, slower too but this one angles beyond the tramline.

17.6: Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart, SIX! Wow, what hitting from Grant Stewart, 21 runs off the over and Italy are back in business. Tossed up, full and outside off, Grant Stewart manages to reach the ball and lifts it over long off for a biggie. 30 needed off 12 balls.

6
17.5: Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart, SIX! That's whacked away for another maximum. Rashid drags the length too short and darts it into the batter. Grant Stewart goes very deep in the crease and moves past the leg stump before clobbering it over long on for a biggie.

1
17.4: Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh, Floated up, wide outside off, Jaspreet Singh fetches the ball and slogs it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

6
17.3: Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh, SIX! Oh, Jaspreet Singh gets one out of screws as well. Flighted ball on the stumps, a bit too full. Singh sits down and swings across the line, heaving it over cow corner for a six.

1
17.2: Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart, At the stumps, hit down the ground and Stewart takes the single.

1
17.1: Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh, Dragged length, angled into the batter. Singh advances and forces it down to long on for a single.

19.6: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, Communication failure and it is a dot ball! Wonder what happened there. Last ball of the innings and it is pretty understandable that the batters have to run, come what may. Stewart bowls a wide yorker, outside off, Jacks looks to reach out but misses. He looks for the bye but Archer has not even taken a start! Eventually, the batters decide against it. ENGLAND FINISH ON 202/7!

6
19.5: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, SIX! 21-BALL 50 FOR JACKS! What an audacious way to get to your MAIDEN T20I FIFTY. Full, outside off, Jacks gets down on a knee and slogs it towards deep mid-wicket. It does not have enough elevation and Jacks has targetted the bigger boundary. There is a fielder at deep mid-wicket and he leaps but the ball just about evades him! 200 UP FOR ENGLAND.

1
19.4: Grant Stewart to Jofra Archer, On a length, outside off, Jofra punches it through the covers for a single.

1WD
19.4: Grant Stewart to Jofra Archer, WIDE. Wide yorker, outside off, left alone by Archer, wided.

0
19.3: Grant Stewart to Jamie Overton, OUT! CAUGHT! The wide yorker line results in a wicket. Just short of a yorker length, full and way wide outside off, Jamie Overton has to reach out for it, as he looks to carve this over point. He does connect, but does not have enough power from the bottom hand. The ball goes high in the air and Crishan Kalugamage takes it calmly at deep point. The 35-run stand is broken and ENGLAND ARE 194/7 AFTER 19.3 OVERS.

1
19.2: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, Low full toss, outside off, Jacks hammers it past the bowler towards long off for a single.

6
19.1: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, SIX! CRASH! England into the 190s now. Will Jacks backs away to the leg side and the bowler tries to follow him. But it is a knee high full toss and Jacks swings it with power over mid-wicket. The stand moves to 34 (14).

18.6: Ali Hasan to Will Jacks, End of a 9-ball over, which results in 13 runs. 73 runs in the last 5 overs. Another wide yorker, outside off, this time Will puts bat on ball and hits it down to long off for another single. Take out that one six and 3 wides, it has been a brilliant over. 4-0-37-1 for Ali Hasan.

1
18.5: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, Legal ball this time. Outside off, Jamie drags it towards long on for one.

1WD
18.5: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, WIDE. Number three in the over now. Similar to the previous ball, full and well outside off on this occasion, but past the tramline. Overton cannot connect with his steer.

1WD
18.5: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, WIDE. Second of the over. Once again, Hasan flirts with the wide guideline, targetting that wide yorker and comes second. Overton throws his bat at it and misses too.

1
18.4: Ali Hasan to Will Jacks, Another wide yorker outside off. This time Will Jacks throws his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge. Luckily for Italy, it goes straight to short third. Just a single.

1WD
18.4: Ali Hasan to Will Jacks, WIDE. Yorker, yes. But this goes well past the tramline. Left alone.

1
18.3: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, Better ball. Full and wide outside off, nearly a yorker, all Jamie can do is hit it towards long off for a single.

6
18.2: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, SIX! CRACK! Barring Buttler, every England batter has hit at least one six today! Hasan goes into the surface, but with a short leg-side boundary, it is an easy invitation for the batter. Overton goes back, picks the length in a trice and pulls it over mid-wicket!

0
18.1: Ali Hasan to Jamie Overton, A dot to start. Excellent yorker, outside off, from over the wicket, Jamie Overton looks to steer it towards deep third but misses.

17.6: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, FOUR! 14 from the over, 60 in the last 4! Full and outside off, Jacks gets under it and powers it over mid off for the second boundary of the over!

2
17.5: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, Another lovely ball, around the yorker length, 125.5 kph, but Will Jacks is upto it and works it to the bigger part of the ground at mid-wicket. Easy couple.

1
17.4: Grant Stewart to Jamie Overton, Slower ball, 126.6 kph, (doubt it was slow then), very full, on middle, Overton digs it towards mid-wicket and the bowler himself gets to that. A single taken.

4
17.3: Grant Stewart to Jamie Overton, FOUR! The boundaries keep coming. Neatly played. Stewart goes for the wide yorker again but Jamie Overton intentionally goes hard at it, and carves it over short third for a boundary.

1WD
17.3: Grant Stewart to Jamie Overton, WIDE. Attempted wide yorker, but it lands too far outside off. Left alone.

1
17.2: Grant Stewart to Will Jacks, On middle and leg, worked through mid-wicket for a run.

1
17.1: Grant Stewart to Jamie Overton, Full, on middle, Jamie Overton pushes this through mid on for a single.
